How long is the course for Cosmetic Dentistry?!


Question: How long is the course for Cosmetic Dentistry?
How long does it take in Universities and what degree is given.
Also, how hard is it to be a cosmetic dentist and would you recommend it?
P.S. How much do they earn?

Answers:

You'll need a Bachelor's degree (4yrs) before you can go to dental school. After 4 years of dental school, you will either be a Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), they are essentially the same and will allow you to practice general dentistry after completing all of the licensing exams. Cosmetic dentistry is not a specialty that requires additional schooling. The dental specialties that require another 3-5 years of training are Endodontist (root canal specialist), Oral Surgeon (extractions, implants and other surgeries of the face and mouth), Periodontist (gum specialist) and Orthodontist (Braces)
